I am on the faculty of the New Vision China Coaching Programme with Robert Dilts, Steve Gilligan and Jeff Zeig. I am a regular speaker at the annual NLP Conference and at Alternatives, St James’ Piccadilly. I have taught at the Academy of Executive Coaching and the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development(CIPD). I have been a UKCP registered psychotherapist, a trustee of Re-Vision, a Psychosynthesis training charity; and a board member of the UK Association for NLP (ANLP). I am interested in integrating body, mind, emotion and spirit. I run The Life Talent Programme in the UK and in China, helping people to lead a life they love. www.LifeTalent.com.

In the 1980’s I trained in Humanistic therapy, Transpersonal Psychology and NLP. I was a UKCP registered psychotherapist, hold a 2nd dan black-belt in Aikido, and practise 5 Rhythms. I am a long-term close student of the Buddhist Master His Holiness Shenphen Dawa Rinpoche and first studied Taoism and Buddhism with Master Liu Hsiu Chi when I was 18.
